<\/p>\n
Well, there are, in fact, a few ways.<\/p>\n
Like most retailers, the LEGO store has a rewards program.<\/p>\n
Through this program, you get points for shopping in LEGO Brand Retail Stores and on the company\u2019s official site.<\/p>\n
By becoming a VIP you\u2019ll earn points for discounts, enjoy members-only gifts, as well as exclusive monthly promotions and specials.<\/p>\n
Discounts are awesome, but if you\u2019re creative you can cut that price to next to nothing.<\/p>\n
Redeem your SwagBucks for PayPal cash (more on that later) and you may get that LEGO set essentially free!<\/p>\n
Many retailers will offer you incentives and free offers if you make a purchase above a certain amount.<\/p>\n
The LEGO store is no different. If you go to their Sale & Offers page<\/a>, you\u2019ll see all of the promotions they\u2019re offering at the moment.<\/p>\n Buying a set without checking to see if you qualify for any special offers is like leaving money on the table.<\/p>\n The brick and mortar LEGO stores often have cool events throughout the year.<\/p>\n Then take the little LEGO people to the Minifigure Swap Monday<\/a> and swap with other people!<\/p>\n Join Smart App Now<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Click here<\/a> to find a store near you and check their calendar for upcoming events.<\/p>\n Few things are more disappointing than buying something and there are parts missing, broken, or the instructions are missing.<\/p>\n If you have bought a set and this is the case, you can get the missing parts or instructions sent to you.<\/p>\n Go here<\/a> for missing or broken bricks, or here<\/a> to find missing instructions.<\/p>\n But kids, get your parents to submit the claim.<\/p>\n You do have to be 18 years old or older to make the claim.<\/p>\n Are you confident in your LEGO building skills?<\/p>\n Want to show off your prowess, and win a free LEGO set as a reward?<\/p>\n You can, and it\u2019s easy to do.<\/p>\n Check out their Contests page<\/a> to find open or upcoming contests you can enter.<\/p>\n Contest winners can win shopping sprees, signed LEGO sets, and trips.<\/p>\n Swagbucks<\/a> is a great resource to use for getting free or discounted items.<\/p>\n All you need is some time, an internet connection, and a little creativity.<\/p>\n Create an account, take some surveys or watch some videos, and accumulate Swag Bucks.<\/p>\n Then redeem those Swag Bucks for Amazon gift cards, Walmart gift cards, Target gift cards, or PayPal cash.<\/p>\n Then use your gift cards to purchase your LEGO set at your favorite store.<\/p>\n You get the LEGO set you want without one cent coming out of your wallet.<\/p>\n Did you receive any gift cards for Christmas you haven\u2019t used yet?<\/p>\n If not, don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n You\u2019re in good company.<\/p>\n In fact, over $1 billion in gift cards go unused every year!<\/a><\/p>\n And combined, Americans have almost $45 billion left on unused gift cards!<\/p>\n That\u2019s a lot of money just sitting there waiting to be used!<\/p>\n Don\u2019t become another statistic.<\/p>\n If you received a gift card you may not use on yourself, then use it to buy your kid or relative the LEGO set they wanted for Christmas but didn\u2019t get.<\/p>\n Or did you get a gift for Christmas that you really didn\u2019t want or don\u2019t see yourself using?<\/p>\n Did your kid, grandkid, niece, nephew, etc. have their heart set on a LEGO set that Santa forgot to deliver?<\/p>\n If the answer to these questions happens to be yes, here\u2019s what you can do.<\/p>\n Instead of selling your unwanted Christmas gift card<\/a> or exchanging it for store credit, exchange it for the set the kid in your life really wanted.<\/p>\n That way you won\u2019t have another unwanted item just sitting around the house collecting dust, and your favorite youngster will get the gift they really wanted under the tree.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a win-win!<\/p>\n It always pays to keep your eyes open while you browse in your favorite stores.<\/p>\n There may be easy ways to earn gift cards<\/a> buying the items you get every week.<\/p>\n For example, Target will often offer Buy 3 or Buy 5 on a particular item and get a free $5 gift card when you check out.<\/p>\n Instead of spending that gift card on your next shopping trip, hang on to it and accumulate others.<\/p>\n Save enough of them, and you\u2019ll be able to get the LEGO set your kid wants without having to spend a penny!<\/p>\n But make sure you don\u2019t let any of those gift cards expire.<\/p>\n Also, sign up for your favorite store\u2019s email list or rewards program.<\/p>\n They are often sales and discounts on popular items, including LEGOs.<\/p>\n For example, Target often will announce sales on LEGO sets through their app<\/a> or through their weekly ad.<\/a><\/p>\n Keep an eye out on when they offer a sale, and if you\u2019ve been collecting gift cards as mentioned in the previous section, you can get that set for little to no cost!<\/p>\n Same thing if you\u2019re a fan of Barnes and Noble.<\/p>\n Become a member<\/a>, use your discount, or keep an eye for the coupon (usually in the 10%-20% off range) they send out via email regularly.<\/p>\n If you have been accumulating PayPal gift cards via Swagbucks, you can get that LEGO set for free!<\/p>\n Many of you probably have a Discover, American Express, or other rewards credit card.<\/p>\n And if you do, you should be getting your cash back rewards soon if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n Why not use those rewards dollars to buy the LEGO set your kid wanted but may not have gotten for Christmas?<\/p>\n What if your rewards card is a points card and not a cash back card?<\/p>\n Can you redeem your points for gift cards to your favorite stores like Target, Walmart, or Amazon?<\/p>\n If so, redeem your points for a gift card to the store of your choice then get the LEGO set you or your kid is looking for.<\/p>\n You can find anything and everything on eBay, including LEGO sets<\/a>.<\/p>\n And they\u2019ll likely be much less expensive than you\u2019ll find in the store.<\/p>\n But convert your Swagbucks to PayPal cash or to an eBay gift card and you can get them for next to nothing or even free!<\/p>\n Or check out Craigslist, put in your location, type \u201cLEGOs\u201d into the search bar, and see what comes up.<\/p>\n Transfer you PayPal cash from Swagbucks into your checking account, and technically nothing really leaves your wallet!<\/p>\n Same thing with Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n Or just check out your local garage or rummage sale.<\/p>\n People in your neighborhood may have LEGO sets their kids may have outgrown.<\/p>\n Again, transfer your PayPal cash earned via Swagbucks and you technically paid nothing!<\/p>\n Of course, you can always search the web for sites offering free samples<\/a>.<\/p>\n Some examples are:<\/p>\n Using these sites you can get free LEGO samples by mail.<\/p>\n But always do your due diligence before submitting your information.<\/p>\n Make sure the offer they\u2019re advertising has not expired.<\/p>\n Also make sure you\u2019re not setting yourself up to be overrun by spam emails.<\/p>\n And if the site looks suspicious, look elsewhere.<\/p>\n For some LEGO fans, once they build something with one of the specialty sets they start to lose interest.<\/p>\n Then there is just one more thing just lying around the house.<\/p>\n What if there was a way to rent a set instead of buying?<\/p>\n Well, you\u2019re in luck!<\/p>\n Check out Netbricks<\/a>, where you can rent LEGO sets for 80% less than buying.<\/p>\n And once you\u2019re finished with the set, just mail it back!<\/p>\n If you buy anything online, you\u2019d be crazy not to use a cashback site like Rakuten.<\/p>\n Rakuten (formerly known as eBates) will give you cashback for shopping on hundreds of online stores including LEGO\u2019s own eCommerce site, as well as any other site (yes, even eBay) that sells LEGO pieces and sets.<\/p>\n The amount of cashback you earn varies and can go anywhere from a few percent to up to 20-30%.<\/p>\n To get started, sign up for Rakuten for free<\/a> (by the way, you get $10 just for signing up), then search for a store you want to shop from. You\u2019ll see a list of available offers and how much cashback each pays. Click on one, visit the site and shop as you normally would. Your Rakuten accounts will get credited shortly. You can then redeem your earnings for cash.<\/p>\n Reddit is an underutilized source for a lot of things including finding great deals you can find anywhere else.<\/p>\n In particular, there are 2 subreddits (r\/legodeal<\/a> and r\/legodeals<\/a>) related to LEGOs where users share deals and discounts they find either online or at local retailers.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t possibly know (or have the time to find out ab) every deal that\u2019s out there. Checking these subreddits for deals makes it easy to not miss out on potential big savings.<\/p>\n As you can see, there are many ways to get a LEGO set for cheap or even free!<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re an adult with a LEGO hobby or have a child who loves playing and building with these awesome toy blocks, you now know how to get that LEGO set for little to no cost.<\/p>\n Plus, it\u2019s an opportunity to spend some quality time with someone important to you which is something worth more than money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
